NEW YORK � October 1, 2008 � Oxygen celebrates its most successful quarter ever for both primetime and total day.

Oxygen now ranks 22 (up from ranking 29 in Q3 2007) for W18-49 and is the fastest growing cable network among the top thirty ad-supported entertainment cable networks.

In primetime Q3, Oxygen averaged a 0.5 coverage rating (up 67% versus Q3 2007) with 238,000 P18-49 (a 47% increase), 177,000 W18-49 (a 51% gain), 84,000 W18-34 (up 42%) and 448,000 total viewers (a gain of 45%).

It was the network's 18th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth for the network among P18-49, W18-49 and total viewers on a total day basis.

Oxygen's digital properties also saw their best quarter ever, due in large part to the success of the "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" and "The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency" microsites.
